Ronda is situated in a very mountainous area about 750 m above mean sea level.

The Spanish Fir (Abies pinsapo) is endemic to the mountains surrounding Ronda.

Main sights of Ronda are three bridges, Puente Romano, Puente Viejo and Puente Nuevo, span the canyon. The term "nuevo" is a bit of a misnomer, as the building of this bridge commenced in 1751 and took until 1793 to complete. The Puente Nuevo is the tallest of the bridges, towering 120 metres (390 ft) above the canyon floor, and all three serve as some of the city's most impressive features.
